Pics of me trying to figure out separates using my Pinterest inspiration and Midwest flare.
Yipes! Stripes!
As you’ve probably been noticing, I’ve been sucking at using inspiration for my outfits. I promise I’ll get ahead of the game and pick out some outfits to prepare for the week. Maybe next week…

Giants Game
Last night my KISA and I got to go to the Giants game with a bunch of my coworkers and their families. Granted neither of us like the Giants. Or the team they were playing. Or probably knew who won. But, hanging out in the suite with unlimited food and drinks was pretty nice.

Biking in Skirts II
I biked in a skirt again today. I thought it would be ok. And, I guess it kind of was. Except the whole getting on the bike and off the bike part. And, all the whistles I got as I rode through the Tenderloin were only young, attractive, well educated men, so it must mean I still looked classy, right? And, I didn’t take into consideration that most days when I return to the city it’s rather winding. And I bike into the wind. Which blew up my skirt. Oh, well. I’ll never see these people again. Or at least until the following day.
Shirt: Banana Republic; Necklace: New York and Company; Skirt: Gap; Shoes: Lands End Canvas
Orange Plaid
One of my purchases from the J. Crew Factory Store was this awesome plaid shirt. I’d love to say I picked it out because I knew it would match my florescent orange pants. But, that was pure luck. It sure put a smile on my face Tuesday morning, though.

Jean Jackets
I don’t know why, but I don’t like jean jackets, in the traditional sense. I think they look cute on everyone else, but very Farmer in the Dell on me. Which is why I love pairing this jean blazer with anything I can. It’s actually 10+ years old. And an extra small. Since it still fits that means I haven’t gained a pound since my early 20’s, right?
Jacket: The Limited; Dress: Pitaya; Shoes: Lands End Canvas
Spring Cleaning
You know how I’ve mentioned in my last few blogs about how busy I’ve been? Well, I’ve been really busy. So, one would think I’d spend this week chillaxing and catching up on TV or my blog or maybe do some wedding planning. Nope. Since I rented the rental car for a week I decided it was necessary we take advantage of that and the remaining few days of spring and take a bunch of stuff to Goodwill. In order to take a bunch of stuff to Goodwill, that would require me to clean out my closets. And, that’s what I did. First, on Tuesday, I decided it was necessary to stop at Home Depot to buy an outdoor storage unit for our patio so that we could take a bunch of stuff out of our spare bedroom closet. Then I removed everything from my closet and proceeded to color coordinate it all.
Now, I’m going to go off on a little side tangent for a minute, so bear with me. I have a lot of clothes, yes. But, there’s still a ton I don’t wear. Well, I read this really interesting blog article that was talking about how you should have only 40 articles of clothing in your closet. As if. Ok, that’s not the part I wanted to point out to you. In this related article, she talked about how it makes so much more sense to organize your closet by color, not by season. For example, my closet had been organized by tanks (by color, lightest to darkest), then short sleeved tees, long sleeved tees, cardigans, blazers, dresses. It made sense and I never thought to question it. Until I read this astonishing article. Why hadn’t I thought of that?
As I cleaned out my closet I also put all my clothes on the bed in piles my color. And, I have to say, since I’m on a quest to wear more color on color instead of neutral on neutral, it’s so simple now! I love it!! I love it so much I also took a picture to share with you.
I ended up dropping off three totes of stuff to Goodwill as well as two of my KISA’s computers (we each still have one, so it’s not like we’ll be missing them). The only downfall to pulling everything out is putting it all back away. I’m sure I’ll get to it…in the coming weeks.
Gray & White
I wore this sometime last week. I don’t really remember when, but it’s cute, huh?

DC Wedding Attire
This was my attire for George and Kristen’s wedding. I thought the dress was really cute…until I saw pictures of myself in it from the side at the wedding. I’m not pregnant, although the dress made it appear that way.
